Doctrine And Devotion

We were honored to spend an hour with the newly elected President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Dr. Bart Barber. He was kind enough to answer questions like: Why would he want to serve as SBC President? What was the hardest part of running for the office? What are some things that need repair or reformation in the convention? Is the SBC "tent" big enough to allow female pastors? What did he think of the Rick Warren’s time at the mic? There’s more, so check it all out.OUR SPONSORChristian Healthcare Ministries is a nonprofit, voluntary cost-sharing ministry through which participating Christians meet each other’s medical bills.
